He is survived by and lives on in his daughter, Carol Lee Applegate of Gilbert, Arizona; his son, Joey Don Applegate of Cortez, Colorado; his brothers, David Applegate of Moab; Gary Applegate of Sparta, Missouri, and sisters, Brenda Elliott, Renda Hill and Lenda Shepard, who also reside in Missouri. In addition, he will be dearly missed by his granddaughters, Alyssa Nichole Arnold and Kyli Jo Applegate; his grandsons, Presley Allen, Jayden John and Coby Glen; and a future great-grandchild, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, friends and many whose lives he touched.

At Don’s request cremation has taken place and a private celebration of life will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Don’s name to CNS Home Health and Hospice in Moab.
